It was just a couple votes from that a few minutes ago, so I doubt it's a glitch.

I know, and I wouldn't actually change my vote, I just didn't really want a majority for 'em. And I really would prefer someone other than Trudeau as PM. But as I've said before, I'm voting for the MP not the leader.

Alberta -> 3.78 million people = 10.9% of the population (34.49 million)
Alberta -> 34/338 seats = ~10.0% of the seats
Ontario -> 13.37 million people = 38.8% of the population
Ontario -> 121/338 seats = ~35.8% of the seats
Now if Alberta has grown since then, it will have to be considered when the seats are reallocated, but it isn't realistic to do it just before every election.

My understanding was that this riding was basically divided in two. One section supporting Conservatives and one section supporting Liberals. So, I think it really depends on which polls were counted first.

I will never understand starting a speech for the entire country in French.

Well we really screwed the pooch on this one.
We have an NDP Provincial Government with 0 Federal support and a Liberal Federal Government with 0 concern for our province and no Federal representation whatsoever as all of our local MPs are PCs.
Justin should follow in his dad's footsteps (again) and open his Reign with:
"Welcome to the 1980s"
For us here in Alberta, that just may well be the case.

Grant is done from what I have been told. He won't have the votes to make up the gap.

I'm happy with the result tonight, and have no issues with Trudeau, but the constant, "my friends" is just so politician lingo in turns my stomach

Whatever your leanings, you should want Kent and Matt to join the caucus.
